It’s not long before Kara is pushed too far and what we witness is Supergirl unchained. The colour of Supergirl’s costume is muted perfectly as the Brigands assault engulfs the void, this is all thanks to the incredible talents of Matheus Lopes whose work continues to stagger and amaze. The artwork showcases the damage sustained perfectly and it almost feels irrevocable, with Kara’s steely blue eyes truly representing the only light in the universe not aiming to maim her. Kara dances precariously between life and death, every hit that Kara takes has a weight to it. One might say that this is the most relatable version of the character to date as she displays a plethora of emotions, emotions we have all succumb to at one time or another.īilquis Evely’s depiction of the Brigands assault is all encompassing, with pages filled with yellow and orange light burning bright against a sea of black. Kara is savage and unforgiving, defiant and unrefined, gritty and grounded like never before. Kara’s showdown with the Brigands is a masterpiece on an epic stage, this is hands down the greatest interpretation of Supergirl in my opinion. Kara faces off against the full force of the Brigands armada while Ruthye’s mettle is tested to breaking point. Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow #7 sees our beloved Kara and Ruthye tested individually like never before. You just have to get people to talk.The challenge, though, is how to do that.

It’s from 1963, smells stunning, has a wonderfully outdated price on the front (2′ 6), and on the first page there is mention of how Eon Films are turning this title into the second James Bond film, starring Sean Connery. The version I have is something pretty special. Between us, we cover the three biggest detectives and spies of the last century and have started dabbling in one another’s areas.ĭespite her love of Bond, however, this book actually came from my publisher who produced it from his bag as if by magic after a night out. One of my friends is a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, which I still don’t really understand, and another, the librarian, is James Bond’s number one fan. My love of Agatha Christie is now well-documented on this blog, but we mustn’t forget that her detectives are not the only ones ever worth mentioning. “The naked man who lay splayed out on his face beside the swimming pool might have been dead.” I count it as a great honour to be able to bring life to his words and hopefully to contribute in a small way to bringing greater recognition to his name and work. The Gods Are Not To Blame was first staged in Nigeria at the Festival of the Arts in 1968 and awarded first prize in the African Arts/Arts d’Afrique playwriting contest in 1969.Įbenezer Bamgboye on why he chose this play: “To me, Ola Rotimi is undoubtedly the Shakespeare of Nigeria, and perhaps even of Africa! The Gods Are Not To Blame is a prime example of his excellence and idiosyncrasies visceral, thrilling, poetic and an enshrinement of the quintessence of Nigerian culture. An adaptation of the Greek classic Oedipus Rex, set in an indeterminate period of a. Inspired by Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, The Gods Are Not To Blame follows King Odewale on a rousing journey to discover what is bringing such bad luck to the people of his kingdom, only to find that the answer lies close to home…Ĭonsidered an allegory of colonialism and a response to the Nigerian Civil War, Ola Rotimi’s play considers the roles of fate, ethnic distrust and hostility, and the legacy of colonial conquest in the fall of a flawed hero. The gods Are Not to Blame is a 1968 play and a 1971 novel by Ola Rotimi. This study, therefore, is designed to fill this gap.

Tyler Henderson is a golden boy who recently lost his spark. Kate is a woman who knows what she wants and is ready to go after it. Working for a man aged 20 years older has made her fantasize about him each day. She is the girl next door on the outside but inside, a nasty girl. She has been drooling after him since her first day on the job two years ago. Henderson has always attracted Kate for the longest time.

She creates erotic stories featuring complicated women and charming but somehow tortured men. She has always been a fan of romance books since a young age. Eve Dangerfield is a romance author born in Melbourne, Australia. Seriously, i think Catherine was the Evil on earth. She plots against the lifes of innocents, she doesn't care for Margot, she doesn't care for no one, just Henry. She use all her power to keep the throne, so Henry can become a King. The cruelty that happened during days on France, was totally full of terror and butchery! Catherine's decision, makes Charles become even more crazy and sick. Bartholomew's Day massacre, more i think that it was an abominable act! Catherine de' Medici didn't want to lose her power as Queen Regent on throne, and as Philip of Spain was constantly questioning her faith, she decides to use Charles' mental disorder and bring the killing on the huguenots. It's so crazy and so sad! And more i read about St. One wanting more power than another, one thinking that his/her believes are true and the other, not. And history is, almost all the time, about that. I always think that read about history is fascinating! It always makes me wonder, how is possible to humans, searching for power and wealth, do whatever they want, not caring if their acts will bring suffering for people. The psychologist James Hillman argued that Neumann's "Apollonic definition of consciousness" led him to mistakenly conclude that consciousness as such is masculine even in women. Hull's English translation by Princeton University Press. The Origins and History of Consciousness was first published in 1949 by Rascher Verlag. Jung credits Neumann with making a valuable contribution to a psychology of the unconscious by placing the concepts of analytical psychology on an evolutionary basis. The book includes a foreword by Jung, who praises it and compares its emphasis on " matriarchal symbolism", and use of the symbol of the ouroboros, to his own work. He maintains that, "Consciousness, as such, is masculine even in women, just as the unconscious is feminine in men." He writes that male homosexuality almost always involves "a matriarchal psychology where the Great Mother is unconsciously in the ascendant." He discusses subjects including mythology, including the figure of Osiris, archetypes, such as that of the Great Mother, matriarchy, ontogeny and phylogeny, the collective unconscious, a psychological process he refers to as "centroversion", masculinity, femininity, and homosexuality. Neumann describes the book as an attempt to "outline the archetypal stages in the development of consciousness", explaining that it is based on depth psychology, specifically the analytical psychology of the psychiatrist Carl Jung.
